28 Feb Christine Wu
Online Exclusive
Christine Wu’s art draws emotional tension from its soft, tonal palette and sketchy layers. She guides the viewer’s eye with detailed points of interest and spots of colored light. Fundamentally, warm light might imply comfort, cheerful emotions, while cool hues imply something more mysterious. Wu intentionally manipulates the light and color of a scene to achieve a variety of effects.
She strives for a feel of an image more than the look of it. The overall look of a painting contributes to the atmosphere, but Wu aspires to have the impression of breath while aiming to explore her control of soft and hard edges with the paint itself. While pushing abstraction of the shapes without losing form, the concept behind the work is always some variation on the feeling of or search for transcendence.
Several of these pieces are from her debut exhibition, Romancing the Looky-Loos (2010), which consist of figurative, narrative portraits of fellow artists and friends, Soey Milk & Ping Zhu.
